第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A new Magic Bench designed by Disney Research lets you interact (互动) with lovely animated (动画的) character—and no special glasses or earphones are required. Instead, the complete environment-the seat, the sitter and the cartoon characters-is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.
How does the illusion work? A camera and sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects the bench and the person. And then computer translates them into the 3D animations. Meanwhile sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen, creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user.
“Our goal for this project was: hear a character coming, see them enter the space, and feel them sit next to you,” said Moshe Mahler, principal digital artist at Disney Research. Unlike the traditional mobile technology, one of whose limitations is that only a single user can see its illusion, the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented—reality (扩充实境) experience, all at the same time.
In a video show, a small cartoon donkey runs into view and kicks the bench, causing sharp sound and making the seated person jump in surprise. Another test shows two people on the bench, reacting as they feel an animated rabbit skip up beside them and jump up and down. When a user passes his hand over the rabbit, a shadow moves across its head, as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it.
1、What does the Magic Bench need to work properly?
A．Special glasses. B．Earphones. C．A mirror. D．A screen.
2、What does the underlined word “illusion” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The shaking that is happening. B．The 3d animations on the screen.
C．The figures about physical objects. D．The interaction with animated figures.
3、What’s the Magic Bench different from the traditional technology?
A．Its fantasy can be seen only by a single user.
B．It is designed to create more animated characters.
C．It allows many people to experience the fantasy together.
D．Its user and the animated character occupy the same space.
4、Which is the best title of the text?
A．Magic Bench Puts You in the Picture
B．Audience Become Cartoon Characters
C．Entertainment Industry Enters a New Stage
D．Disney’s Cartoon Figures Come into Reality

B
We all love bank holidays. In the UK, we only get eight bank holidays in one year, and at least five of those occur around Christmas time and Easter time! A bank holiday is a British English term. This is an official day that is decided by the government, when banks, shops and offices close for the day even though it’s a weekday—usually a Monday, and a lot of people have a day off work.
Bank holidays are different in Colombia -firstly, they are called “festivos”. There are twenty festivos for the whole country in one year! In Britain, people get more holiday allowances(津贴)than Colombians but fewer bank holidays. There can be even more festivos in Colombia, depending on which region of Colombia you live in. This is because different regions have their own holidays. For example, some regions have a patron saint(守护神), so they have an extra festivo to celebrate that saint.
However, there are some days that are national holidays for historical reasons. There is an Independence Day celebration on July 20 every year. This is just like Bastille Day in France on July 14, or Independence Day in the United States on July4. Other important festivos in Colombia are: Labour Day, on May 1, and Columbus Day on October 12. Columbus Day is a historical bank holiday that almost every county on the continent of America celebrates. This includes Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Mexico and the United States. It is memorialization of the day when the Italian sailor, Christopher Columbus, first reached land on the continent in the year 14. Many people criticize this day and say it is not something to celebrate because of the way Columbus and his team treated the people that were already living there.
1、What is a “bank holiday” according to the text?
A．An official nationwide vacation.
B．A holiday only for the bank staff.
C．A British traditional religion festival.
D．A celebration for Christmas and Easter.
2、What can we learn from Paragraph2?
A．Colombia and Britain have the same number of festivos.
B．All Colombians have the same number of festivos.
C．Colombians have fewer holiday allowances than British people.
D．People in most regions celebrate a patron saint.
3、Why do many Americans refuse to celebrate Columbus Day?
A．Because Columbus wasn’t an American at all.
B．Because Columbus once treated the locals badly.
C．Because it wasn’t Columbus who found America first.
D．Because Columbus didn’t live in the continent of America.
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．A British English term.
B．Bank holidays in Colombia.
C．Important festivos in America.
D．Different bank holidays in the world.
